Heavy-Duty Alternative Fuel and Advanced Vehicle Purchase Vouchers
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Truck Voucher Incentive Program provides incentives for three funding tracks: all-electric and hydrogen fuel cell class 3 through 8 zero emission vehicles, non-road electric equipment, and transit buses. Incentives are released on a staggered schedule and depend on funding available for each track.
Class 3 through 8 ZEV incentives are distributed based on the following criteria, including incentives for reducing tailpipe pollutants in disadvantaged communities (DACs) and class 8 fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs):
| Vehicle Weight Class | Base Incentive | DAC Bonus | Small Fleet Bonus | Scrap Bonus | Per Vehicle Cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | $50,000 | $15,000 | $10,000 | $10,000 | $85,000 |
| 4 | $85,000 | $25,000 | $17,000 | $17,000 | $144,000 |
| 5 | $100,000 | $30,000 | $20,000 | $20,000 | $170,000 |
| 6 | $150,000 | $45,000 | $30,000 | $30,000 | $255,000 |
| 7 | $185,000 | $55,000 | $37,000 | $37,000 | $314,000 |
| 8 | $200,000 | $60,000 | $40,000 | $40,000 | $340,000 |
| 8 (FCEV) | $285,000 | $60,000 | $40,000 | $40,000 | $425,000 |
Non-road electric equipment is eligible for vouchers equivalent to 35% of the base price of the equipment on a per-unit basis. Additionally, non-road equipment projects that have depots or primary work locations located within DAC’s are eligible for a 10% DAC bonus, with the bonus capped at $100,000.
Class 4-8 Transit Bus incentives are available for a subset of transit agencies across the state and are based on vehicle class:
| Vehicle Weight Class (transit bus) | Voucher Amount |
|---|---|
| 4 | $100,000 |
| 5 | $125,000 |
| 6 | $150,000 |
| 7 | $250,000 |
| 8 | $385,000 |
